Switching point-of-sale systems doesn’t have to mean starting over. With a little preparation, your customers, catalog, and inventory can move over cleanly — and GameSnapPOS includes migration support at no extra cost on every plan to do the heavy lifting.
Know what you want to bring
Start with a list of what matters most to your store. Most stores want to bring:
Customer records and contact details
Products, quantities, and prices
Store credit and reward balances
Barcode or SKU data for items already on your shelves
Anything unusual, like custom fields or special categories
The Migration Planner is a quick way to capture this and send it to our team.
Keep your labels — if your data is compatible
Re-stickering thousands of items is the part of switching every store dreads. If your existing barcode or SKU data can be imported, your current labels keep scanning in GameSnapPOS — no relabeling required. We confirm what carries over during your migration review and let you know before go-live if anything isn’t compatible.
Export from your current system
Most systems can export customers and inventory to a spreadsheet. Grab fresh exports close to your switch date so counts and balances are current, and keep a copy of everything for your records.
Review before you go live
Before your first sale on GameSnapPOS, spot-check a few things:
Total customer count matches your old system
A handful of product prices and quantities
Several store credit and reward balances
A few labels scan to the right item at the register
Plan a calm go-live day
Pick a slower day to switch, walk your team through the counter workflow, and run a practice sale and trade before opening. Personalized onboarding is included, so you won’t be doing it alone.
